[IronPython] shelve bug?

[Stuart Midgley]

Afternoon

I am not sure if this has done the rounds previously, but shelves  
don't appear to be fully supported on IronPython

My code (shelvebug.py) is


import sys

sys.path.append("/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ 
Libraries/python2.4")

import shelve

d=shelve.open("aaa", writeback=True)
d["a"] = 1
d.close()


and the output is


stu:/IronPython-1.0.1 > mono -O=all ipy.exe shelvebug.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File shelvebug, line unknown, in Initialize
   File shelve, line unknown, in __setitem__
   File dumbdbm, line unknown, in __setitem__
   File dumbdbm, line unknown, in _addval
NotImplementedError: bad mode: rb+


This obviously works just fine on my MacOSX system with python2.4.3

Stu.
